The 2010 Residual Stress Summit was a very productive
and memorable event. See some photo souvenirs.
See you at the next Summit !
The RS Summit Steering Committee is happy to announce RS Summit 2013. We are currently forming concepts for the technical tracks and looking at possible locations for the meeting. Past meetings have been held near interesting things (for residual stress, like Los Alamos or Oak Ridge) and/or near wonderful things (like Vancouver or Lake Tahoe), and you can expect the next meeting will follow one of those trends (perhaps both). We also will continue our tradition of having an affordable meeting; we aim to provide participants with the highest value among professional meetings.
If you have ideas on technical tracks, meeting location, wish to serve as a host location, or all of these, please reply to any of the Summit organizers with your initial ideas.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2013 Residual Stress Summit.
The central objective of the Residual Stress Summit series is to bring together residual stress users, (who have "problems" and are in search of "solutions") and developers (who have "solutions" and are in search of "problems"). The format of the Summits is designed to facilitate technical interchange among practicing engineers and researchers, rather than as a venue for the presentation of specialized academic research.
At each Summit, a coherent sequence of topics is chosen to focus on practical needs and applications. Experts in these fields are then invited to speak and to share their knowledge and experience. To keep the focus of the meeting, all talks are by invitation only. If you have a proposal for a practical presentation, please one of the Summit organizers
The Residual Stress Summits also include demonstration sessions where residual stress related equipment and materials are displayed. In addition, RS Summit participants are invited to give voluntary poster presentations. Informal conference proceedings will be prepared. The proceedings include a list of attendees and demonstrators and their affiliations, as well as the presentations from the speakers and poster presenters.
